you could say the bush members did a lot more work than with clinton. there are more rules, more regulations, more paperwork. this is a very cumbersome project that most people can't afford and can't deal with. i think it would be a lot easier to stop all this nonsense and confirm them but these are the rules of the land, the laws of the land, and the senate is doing exactly what the senate supposed to do. >> morris, could this fierce opposition -- >> that is absolutely ridiculous. >> morris? >> it is absurd to think that your party is doing their job. you guys are doing nothing but being obstructive. if you would put a plan forth you might have won. you lost seats in the house. you lost seats in the senate. you lost the presidency. please. understand you're in the opposition. you're never going to get in a majority if you don't put anything forward. >> morris, if you look at the constitution what does it say? the senate shall give advice and consent on cabinet nominees and that is exactly what they're doing. >> thanks to both of you. >> thanks, chris.
